When Sun Jikai hurriedly found the message sent to him by Assistant Wang and called Sun Maocai, the reply he got was that the number was empty.

Yes, empty numbers.

After calling and asking Assistant Wang, Sun Jikai learned that the so-called Sun Maocai's phone number was exchanged between his grandfather and Sun Maocai after meeting at a Cantonese cooking exchange meeting more than ten years ago.

After exchanging phone numbers, Sun Guanyun and Sun Maocai didn't have any contact, but they just wrote down the phone number in the phone book and didn't even save it in the mobile phone.

After more than ten years, it is normal for Sun Mao to change his phone number.

"Assistant Wang, please ask for Master Sun Maocai's phone number in other ways, and when you arrive, call him to inform him of the news of his grandfather's death and invite him to the funeral. Sun Jikai said.

"Okay. Assistant Wang said, "In addition to this matter, is there anything else that needs to be relayed?"

"No, I'm sorry for you. Sun Jikai hung up the phone, sighed and went back to the room.

Whether it is a secondary two illness or a senseless self-esteem, after the failure to call Sun Maocai, the idea of not wanting to ask Sun Maocai for help suddenly popped up in his mind.

He didn't want to hand over the future of Jubaolou to an outsider he had never met, even if this outsider was his grandfather's junior brother.

Although it is a bit rebellious to go against his grandfather's wishes, he wants to use his own ability to make Jubaolou go further. Although the turnover of Jubaolou has fallen due to temporary management chaos, the foundation is still there after all. Jubaolou has a mature team of chefs, and as long as everything is on track and back to normal, Jubaolou will be able to return to its previous state.

As for how far he can go in the future, it depends on his own level.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.

.

On the other side, Jiang Feng booked a ticket to leave in the afternoon and arrive in the evening.

Because of the rush of time, he, Wu Minqi and the old man hurried home after finishing lunch business, packed their luggage and headed to the airport.

The seats of the three were connected together, the old man sat by the window, Jiang Feng sat in the middle, and Wu Minqi sat in the aisle.

From the moment he got on the plane, Wu Minqi closed his eyes and recuperated, Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone and looked offline, and found that the old man had neither looked at his mobile phone nor watched the boring movies played on the plane, he tilted his head and looked at the blue sky and thin clouds outside the window in a daze.

The old man has been in this state for two days.

"Grandpa. Jiang Feng whispered.

The old man turned his head to look at him.

"In fact, birth, old age, sickness and death are some very normal things. ”

There was some doubt in the old man's eyes.

"My... I mean, you don't have to... Such...... It's so sad. Jiang Feng thought for a long time before highlighting the word sad, but he felt that the old man's current situation was not sad, "It's really a pity that Grandpa Sun left like this, but ......"

The old man suddenly laughed: "Do you think I lost my soul, was heartbroken, and grieved because of Sun Guanyun's old guy who left without saying a word?"

Jiang Feng: ?

Grandpa, you don't play cards according to the routine.

"Am I the sentimental kind of person? I'm not your grandmother. The old man said.

Jiang Feng: ......

"I just remembered something out of the blue. The old man looked out the window again, and he didn't know what he was looking at, maybe he was looking at memories, looking at the past.

"In the past two days, I have always thought about some things related to Sun Guanyun's old guy, there are too many, so it is easy to get distracted when I think about it. The old man said, "I'm fine." ”

Jiang Feng felt that the old man didn't look like he was fine.

"We stayed a few more days this time to FZ. The old man said.

"Huh?"

"I haven't been to the Treasure Tower for many years, and the last time I went was because Master Sun died, and it's been decades since I stayed for two more days. ”

.

The hours on the plane passed in a flash, and the old man stared out the window the whole time, from the day to the night, witnessing the whole picture of dusk.

Wu Minqi was woken up twice, once by the flight attendant handing out in-flight meals, and the other by the broadcast before the descent. Wu Minqi, who was awakened, was still a little confused, sleepy-eyed, and her hair was a little messy, and she asked Jiang Feng with a confused face if she was about to arrive.

"I booked a hotel in the city center, wait for a taxi and go straight to it, put my luggage first and then go to eat. Wu Minqi said.

She didn't eat the plane meal at all, and now she's a little hungry.

"Well, what to eat?" Jiang Feng asked the most crucial question.

"Go to the Treasure House. The old man said.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were both stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

Because of the rush of time, the hotel was searched by Wu Minqi on the Internet, and he paid for the reservation after picking a convenient one. The location is really good, the price is a little inflated, and the three of them put down their luggage and took a taxi straight to the treasure building.

When he got out of the car, Jiang Feng only felt a little like a world away.

The treasure building has not changed at all, the same signboard, the same decoration, almost exactly the same as what he saw in his memory before, except that the street scene outside has changed, the small road has become a big road, and the bungalows no longer exist, replaced by high-rise buildings and busy traffic.

In my memory, I can look up and feel that the magnificent treasure tower has also become unremarkable.

The old man took the lead, and the three of them walked in.

Almost as soon as they walked in, the expressions of the three of them changed slightly.

The old man frowned, while Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were a little surprised.

It's 8 o'clock in the evening, which should be the best time for restaurant business, but the occupancy rate in the lobby of Jubaolou is less than 30%, and business can be called quite deserted.

There were three waiters at the door, and only one of them was relatively young, and when he saw the three of them greet him, he asked with a smile on his face, "Hello, are you three?" ”

The waiter led the three of them to the edge of the table for 4 people by the window, and pointed to the QR code on the table: "We can scan the code to order in our store, if the elderly are not used to scanning the code to order, they can also use the menu, if you need a menu, I will go and get it now." ”

"No need. The old man's expression softened slightly, "Can you still book the Buddha jumping over the wall now?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, you can book tomorrow today, both at noon and at night." ”

"Can I book for tomorrow?" the old man looked unhappy, "can I book anything, no membership or anything else." ”

The waiter was a little confused by the old man's attitude, and he didn't understand why he was not happy that he could book a guest, and explained: "That's right, it turns out that the Buddha jumping over the wall in our store requires a senior member to make a reservation. However, recently, the store has launched a special promotion, and ordinary customers can make reservations if they do not have a membership, and only need to pay a part of the deposit. ”

"Then book me three copies for noon the day after tomorrow. The old man said.

"Okay, I'll give you a list later, please leave your contact information and phone number, and then the deposit will be settled at the time of checkout. The waiter said.

The old man nodded in understanding, and the waiter left.

"Look at it. The old man began to sit in a daze again.

Wu Minqi took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the table and began to browse the menu, and whispered to Jiang Feng while browsing: "Feng Feng, do you think that the business of Jubaolou is a little too cold." ”

Jiang Feng nodded, secretly glanced at the old man and saw that he didn't react, and said: "It's so abnormal, Buddha jumping over the wall can be booked by anyone, and you can directly make an appointment for tomorrow, isn't Buddha jumping over the wall one of the signature dishes of Jubaolou?"

The old man told Jiang Feng about the 1888 small cup of Buddha jumping over the wall in the treasure building, but he remembered it for many years.

"You see, there are a lot of dishes. Wu Minqi pointed to the menu on the screen of her mobile phone, where many fresh seafood were sold out.

"Let's see if there's any baked lobster in soup. Jiang Feng said.

Wu Minqi flipped back again and shook his head: "It's sold out." ”

Since many dishes on the menu were sold out for unknown reasons, the two could only order a few dishes they had eaten casually, and then began to look at the guests in the lobby.

One thing to say, the decoration of the treasure building is still quite good. As a person who also owns a single-family restaurant and has seen the interior decoration of the Treasure Building decades ago in his memory, Jiang Feng can evaluate the Treasure Building very pertinently in the renovation that should have cost a lot of money. It has both a quaint texture and a little bit of modern elements, which is very comfortable to look at, but the menu is uncomfortable to look at, and it is full of sold-out people who are uncomfortable.

Although the menu was not satisfactory, the serving was still very fast, but the first dish Jiang Feng and the others ordered were served in a few minutes.

After tasting the chopsticks, Jiang Feng also understood why the business of Jubaolou was so cold.

The taste is actually okay, not unpalatable, but it is not worthy of the price of Jubaolou.

It has a casual feel to the food.

This feeling is like you feel that your mother is not willing to cook two dishes to fool you, although you have no evidence, but you can eat it.

Jiang Feng casually flipped over the fried lotus root shreds on the plate, and found that the cut was very perfunctory, and at first glance, it was cut out by the chef of the pier head when he was lazy. As a well-known high-end restaurant, it is theoretically impossible to serve this dish to the guests on the table, but such a dish appeared on their table, or at a price of 58 yuan.

Babaozhai doesn't dare to do this, although their dishes are expensive, but it will definitely not make people feel casual to eat, it will only make you simply think that their chef is not good.

The same is true for the next few dishes, from the knife to the fireman, there is a perfunctory feeling. Jiang Feng believes that the chefs of Jubaolou are still level, but it seems that everyone is not willing to work, and he doesn't know if Jubaolou is in arrears of wages or what's wrong.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the business of Jubaolou is so cold.

Jiang Feng carefully observed, from the time they came in to the time they ordered, they had eaten half of the food until now, and there was only one customer in the store, and he was sitting at the table behind them and was now ordering.

"Waiter. The guest at the table behind Jiang Feng beckoned to the waiter, and the waiter who had led Jiang Feng and them in before ran over.

"Hello sir, is there anything you need?" asked the waiter.

"Can I book a Buddha jumping over the wall now?" the guest asked.

"Yes, you can book tomorrow's Buddha jumping over the wall now, and ordinary guests can book as long as they pay a deposit. The waiter said.

"Then book a book for me the day after tomorrow, I have something to do tomorrow. The middle-aged man said.

Hearing that the guests at the back table had actually booked the Buddha jumping over the wall the day after tomorrow, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised and turned his head to look at him.

It is a middle-aged man in a suit, forty or fifty years old, who looks like a successful person, because he looks very aura.

I don't know if it's a celebrity, because Jiang Feng feels a little familiar when he looks at him, as if he's seen it somewhere, so he can't help but look at it twice.

The middle-aged man noticed that Jiang Feng was looking back at him, met his gaze and smiled at him, and then he was stunned.

Jiang Feng: ?

The middle-aged man stood up and walked towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng: ???

He crossed Jiang Feng and came to Jiang Weiguo, who was staring at the dishes on the table and his face was not very good-looking.

"Senior Brother Jiang, long time no see. ”
